Jaxson Dart's Ex-Girlfriend Goes Viral During His NFL Debut
Jaxson Dart's Ex-Girlfriend Goes Viral During His NFL Debut originally appeared on The Spun. The Jaxson Dart era is officially underway for the New York Giants. The G-Men traded back into the first round of this year's draft to select Dart with the 25th overall pick. Clearly, they saw something in the Ole Miss product. While there have been some growing pains in training camp, Brian Daboll and the rest of New York's staff have said nothing but good things about their rookie quarterback. "I'd say Jaxson is right on schedule from what we'd expect in terms of just understanding the offense, continuing to grow and learn every day," Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said. "Every day we're presenting him — not just him but all the quarterbacks — with different situations and some situations you've probably never seen before. Those have been good to build off of, whether it's in two-minute, whether it's a third-down situation or a certain blitz look that we're getting, he's able to kind of grow and learn from those examples and now as he starts banking more and more looks, more and more reps — we do a lot of this throughout the walk-through as well, he can kind of see — now he's starting to put the picture together a little bit better and cleaner for a rookie." So far, Dart is dealing for the Giants. He completed 12-of-19 passes for 155 yards with a touchdown during the first half of his preseason debut. As Dart was dropping dimes on the field, his ex-girlfriend was turning heads on Instagram. Though the timeline is a bit foggy, Dart used to date Lola Sexton. There were rumors about them ending things on rough terms, which led to Sexton sharing her side to the story in a since-deleted TikTok. "I really didn't want to have to do this, but some stuff has been brought to my attention, and I just feel like I have to clear the air and share my side of the story," Sexton said. "So yes, he was cheating on me for a little over a year and a half, from what I know. I found out from an anonymous text message, whoever you are, thank you. Thank you so much." Sexton hasn't said anything about Dart in several months. From the outside looking in, it seems like both sides moved on. Besides, Dart has an NFL career to worry about. He's trying to prove he can be the long-term quarterback for the Giants. We'll see if Dart can live up to the hype. So far, he's off to a great start. Jaxson Dart's Ex-Girlfriend Goes Viral During His NFL Debut first appeared on The Spun on Aug 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

New York Giants defeat Buffalo Bills, 34-25: Here's how Giants Nation reacted
The New York Giants opened their preseason with a 34-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Saturday. The win evened head coach Brian Daboll's all-time preseason record at 5-5, including 3-1 during the opening week. Although the result itself is meaningless, the Giants showed impressive life on offense with all four quarterbacks leading scoring drives. That's a feather in the cap of offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who has reassumed play-calling duties. Most importantly, the Giants seemed to escape the game without any notable injuries.

New York Giants OC Mike Kafka: QB Jaxson Dart is 'Right on Schedule'
Print Close Published August 07, 2025 For the second time this century, the New York Giants are putting their future on the arm of a quarterback from Ole Miss. So far, so good for rookie Jaxson Dart in the eyes of his offensive coordinator. "I'd say Jaxson is right on schedule from what we'd expect in terms of just understanding the offense, continuing to grow and learn every day," Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said on Wednesday, according to the Giants' team website. "Every day we're presenting him — not just him but all the quarterbacks — with different situations and some situations you've probably never seen before. Those have been good to build off of, whether it's in two-minute, whether it's a third-down situation or a certain blitz look that we're getting. "He's able to kind of grow and learn from those examples, and now as he starts banking more and more looks, more and more reps — we do a lot of this throughout the walkthrough, as well, he can kind of see — now he's starting to put the picture together a little bit better and cleaner for a rookie." Kafka also said that he's looking for the rookie quarterback to "command the huddle" and be "decisive" in the preseason; New York opens its 2025 preseason on the road against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Dart was listed as New York's No. 3 quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on the unofficial depth chart released by the Giants earlier this week. The Giants traded the No. 34 and 99 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft and their 2026 third-round pick to move up to pick No. 25 and select Dart, who, like two-time Giants Super Bowl champion Eli Manning before him, came out of Ole Miss. New York traded up for Dart after already selecting Penn State linebacker and 2024 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick. Last season, Dart totaled 4,279 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, six interceptions and a 180.7 passer rating, while completing 69.3% of his passes. Dart's passing yard total, passer rating and completion percentage all led the SEC. He also rushed for 495 yards and three touchdowns. Dart spent the last three seasons of his collegiate career at Ole Miss (2022-24), preceded by one season at USC (2021). Kafka is entering his fourth season as New York's offensive coordinator under head coach Brian Daboll. Last season, the Giants were 31st in the NFL in points (16.1 per game) and 30th in total yards (294.8 per game) per game. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
